First heard this while watching Dancing At The Blue Iguana
RIVER OF TEARS
This song was recorded very early in the Pilgrim sessions. Eric Clapton believes this song is as good as anything he’s ever done before. In fact, it became the standard for the rest of the album. “Lyrically, it is about a specific person. My impulse for writing the song was initially very manipulative. I was always toying with the idea that when she’d hear this song there would be a reconciliation or something. It had a purpose. Then it started getting vindictive and at some point I started feeling like the lyrics were becoming too melodramatic. I realized that the way to save it was to bring it back to talking about me and that maybe I’m an unavailable person. Maybe it’s me that’s unavailable. That whole thing in the song about just drifting from town to town and not really being able to fit in, takes the blame off somebody else and places in on myself.” (From May 1998 Guitar World) - Hudba
I had a stillborn baby in 2009. We named her Angel Shandra. She would have been 13 yrs old this year. I still cry for her. Me and her dad separated a few years later in 2011. I play this song when I think about my life when I lost my sweet Angel 😥😥😥😥💔💔💔💔💔 I have 4 other kids. But Angel will be in my heart forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I lost my Son in 2014 to suicide. This is the song I chose for his funeral. It guts me to hear it, but it also soothes a part of me. I love and miss you, Christopher.
😔😔😔😔😔
Look for my book on CZcams
He is in better place with Lord❤❤❤
Lost my wife 5yrs ago, Went in for an operation and never came out. No good byes,no last words, just emptiness. 28 yrs with my best friend. Ripped my heart right out of my chest. God help me

Remembering my beloved grandson who passed one year ago today. RIP LITTLE MAN.
This is for my sons in heaven Dex 06/25/2007 and Aaron 07/07/2012. I miss you both so much.
For my 1st (late) husband & our daughter, Sarah. He passed away in 1981 (he had lymphoma & was only 36 yrs. young) & our Sarah passed away in 1984. She was diagnosed with leukemia less than a year from her daddy’s passing. She was 7-1/2 yrs young. Their memories are made of light.

This is one of the best songs ever written. Period. Timeless and so pure, honest and emotional... Pure genius
I feel this too....it covers all my losses and loves inthe deepest sense....I see that this is Eric Claptons BEST and DEEPEST, don't you?
The beautiful song of Eric Clapton ... calmed my soul after losing my son ...... river of tears.........................
Małgorzata Stępniewska So Very Sorry .. May God Comfort You ..Always ......
I watched my uncle Tom rock back and forth to this song after finding out he was dying of cancer that spread thru his body. We drank to the the many good times we shared, and he put this song on repeat and cried for hours. We both cried in a profound understanding. It is something I will never forget.
We played this at my sons funeral in 2005. I still cry when I hear it. R.I.P. James. I'll see you again some day son.❤️😢😇
😔😔😔😔😔😔❤️❤️
This song goes way beyond ordinary sadness. It is the most beautiful and completely devastating song ever written.
true
Nigel John Webb what to say when i pray...
+Nigel John Webb you,v got it nigel, this song reaches down inside touches your soul like nothing I,v ever heard before.
+Nigel John Webb Give that guy a gold star...
painfully true
Still one of the best Song ever
I lost my dad in May he loved this song, i miss him so much its so hard without him here guiding me
I wish I could give you the magic formula, but after losing my father 20 years ago, all I can say is that it gets easier, but you will always miss him, which is sentiment to just how much he meant to you.
To quote the author David Gemmel,, our fathers were men to walk the mountains with.
Don't get hung up on it, but embrace everything that reminds you of your father
And instead of wallowing in possible self pity, strive to be the man, that he always knew you were.
he was always proud of you, if you can be true to yourself, here on in, he can always be proud of you
I lost my father to😪 10 days ago, and ....💔
If there was ever a song that could make a grown man cry, it surely is this one...
agree
It surely did in the scene of Friends where Rachel and Ross had their first baby and this song was played in the background. Magic moment.
This & The Living Years by Mike & the Mechanics, just leaves me in total shreds! What makes these songs even more emotional is the fact that they were inspired by real life events that affected the writer, Eric Clapton wrote this after he lost his son, and Mike Rutherford wrote The LIving Years, after he lost his father
❤️
My brother was a huge Eric Clapton fan.I didn't find this song until he committed suicide. It was my gift to my only sibling. I love you Freddie I miss u every day. RIP FREDDIE ROGERS!!!
What a beautiful song 🎵 I lost my mom at 16 and my dad when I was 20 years old 💔 lost a lot of aunts and uncles 💔 lost my inlaws and my beloved husband 6 years ago 1 week before Christmas 😢I have drowned in the river so many times and I am still drowning 😢 💔 thank you Mr Clapton for this beautiful song 🎵 ❤️ 💜 💕 🎵🎵❤️❤️
I lost my wife and baby to a home fire and this was played at their memorial it's been 12 years and I still breakdown wishing one day I can go back in time and save them, the hurt has ever stopped, I miss them so much, when they needed me the most I wasn't fast enough to save them ...that guilt 😔 😭 of not being able to save them and hearing them scream haunts me ,I break down daily,that's when you know, that love was unconditional and true to your soul, when you cry like you just lost them 12 years later, and you search and search for way to get over it and you never get where you want because you feel that was the path you were supposed to go down being with them and not with out them 💔 😢, I pray everyday that I pass on from a natural death just to be with them and feel the love from her once more because nothing else feels right...
I feel you. I lost my girlfriend to a fire also. It's so hard to believe it happened, yet 6 years have passed and I can't move on. Hope you find peace.
I very sorry for your loss.
It's really awful to have a feeling that you, possibly, could help to save lives of your love ones but you didn't - hardest burden to bear it, feel it everyday...
@@AbovePolarCircle Jesus Christ is the answer to me and you. God bless you and thank you.
Omg...so sorry 😔 for the pain you feel 😢😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
8 years ago I lost my wife of 30 years she was my love and my best friend I didn't say goodbye I'm a Viet Nam Vet and I lost friends and I was locked up , they thougth I was suicidal . when I got home my daugther called and I played this song and cried . Last year I lost my mom to Covid-19 and didn't get to say goodbye. I played this song again and cried. I know I will see them again in the next life. Keep your Faith in Christ.
All power belongs to God and God alone
Your strong brother I’m sorry for your losses and I wish you the best 🤟🏻
I am so sorry for all your deep losses..it is so painful and in another sense to know that you have that much feeling and emotions with your loved ones...is so so so GOOD. I love your deep feelings..thank YOU
and I so LOVE your most beautiful poem...demonstrating your LOVE.
@@wavelength7503 and thank YOU with great appreciation for speaking with me. Yes, the River of TEARS brings ever flowing emotions of grief, sadness, and great loss...to not be endured for ever on end. Thank YOU with great Love and great Respect to YOU.
Lost my mom several years back, right before her death this song was played over and over in my truck, this song has such deep meaning to me. There is never a day that passes that I don't miss her. Grief sometimes last a lifetime. I love you mom.
So sorry, One thing for sure is she is your guardian angel and watches over you. You will see her again. That is a promise from Thee Almighty God. 💔🌹🙏🏽
So true
I came here from F.R.I.E.N.D.S where they used it when Emma was born. Such a beautiful song, so glad I came across this.
Wow!!!! I did tooo!!!!!!!!
So did I!
😱😳 OMG 😭 Me Too
I have been searching for this Background score a long time and finally found it. (When Ross and Rachel having baby together and the music started flowing..... I was crying unstoppable)
me too man
Me too! For me, this scene and this music is the perfect ending for the show :')
If you've ever loved and lost, this is what it feels like....
18 years ago when my marriage was dying I washed in tears every day of my life listening to this song. These photos make such a great company to it. Thanks for this memory, it is completely different perspective now and I just recognised: it wasn't my marriage, it is this great song that can make you cry no metter what is going on around you. Regards from Croatia 🌼
Mr. Clapton vocal, his guitar, the melody, the lyrics of this song touches my soul so deeply…. feel like I’m drowning in the river of tears too….
This is my favorite Clapton song. I just feel this lovely bluesy guitar, it touches my mind & I close my eye & flow with the river.
Such a sad song. Nobody sings like Clapton on something like this. He seems to reach so deeply within his own pain and it makes this song both so sad and lovely,.
Never heard this song before, but now that l have heard it. I will back and back again...
Beautiful Song !!
I know Eric has had a lot of pain in his life but my god he certainly captures the sad and poignant feelings we all have.
I lost my son in 2020 and I wish he could be here with me 😢😢
So sorry for your loss. Burying a child is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. We lost our son when he was 20 to a motorcycle accident. We didn't know he was gone for 24 hours after it happened. Life sucks, but you have to keep going.😪😥
One of the best singer in the rock blues history. Unbelievable, emotional and intense vocal performance in a beautiful song.
I played this heartbreaking song at the funeral of my beloved mother.
Sorry love. Hugs xox 😢😢
This song reminds me someone that I used to love..it reduced me to the tears
What a great song to choose sorry for your lost
Beautiful.
I just came across this song...not meaning to find this song but I did. I'm crying my eyes out. My late husband suffered from COPD, he had a difficult time breathing and was on oxygen, we slept in different rooms for quite some time bc of his condition. I just wanted him to feel comfortable. I now regret feeling like that bc I could have been mistaken, maybe it would have made him feel better, me lying bedside him. A week before he passed I had a feeling of just wanting to go lay by him and hold him to let him know I loved him, that he was loved. He knew I did but this feeling I felt from within felt important to pursue. I walked in the room and he was resting quitely, I chose not to interrupt his calmness, his sleeo bc he wasn't struggling at that moment to sleep. I walked away. He passed away on Mother's Day 2020. Then last night before I laid down I was reminiscing in my mind about that time, feeling guilty, wishing I would have just laid down by him and held him. I got teary eyed and went to sleep. I had a dream in the middle of the night that he was sitting on the couch in our living room and he looked really healthy and good I was scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees.I heard him say something, not sure what he said but the look in his eye made me feel like he was feeling sorrowful. I thought to myself I can ignore what he was saying and continue on scrubbing or I could stop for a moment and give him attention as that's what I felt he was trying to say to me. I chose to crawl over and lay my head gently on his lap to allow him to know I was there and that I loved him. I looked up and he smiled and then he began fading away. I couldn't understand why he was leaving but then I realized he wasn't really there bc he had passed away. I started crying really hard and I woke up bawling my.eyes out, realizing it was only a dream. Was he telling me to not feel guilty for not taking that opportunity in lying down beside him bc he now knows where my heart truly was and the smile he gave me was a sign of happiness that he wanted me to feel in letting me know, he knows he was loved by me. I'm not sure, but I feel like that's what he was doing as he drifted away, it felt like he was telling me to be at peace and goodbye. I Love You, Honey!! May you rest in peace! "I will see you again!" People don't take life for granted...move when your spirit tells you to move bc it could be your last chance!! Embrace your loved ones and let then know you are always there for them heart, mind, body and soul!! God Bless each and everyone of you! Love to ALL!
Sorry for your loss
Just beautiful ; tears in my eyes a lump in my throat but the music pervades all
Sorry for your loss
@@karencru6356 Thank you! :=)
@@karencru6356 TY! He was!! :=)
I lost 2 children. My son at 40 weeks. and my daughter at 38 weeks. I played this song at their funeral. It is a continuation of Tears in heaven. It is actually a happy song. He speaks of his son passing. "Since you've been gone I'm drowning in a river of tears". But he has to go. But one day when he dies, he will find himself back there. and his son will greet him. His son will keep him from drowning in tears for the people he left behind.
you are my hero, Good bless you , Jm old age guitar player from Poland .
Clapton was my Mom's favorite and I lost her last October. Nothing has hurt this much. I miss you Mom. I'll never get through this song without tears, thinking of you.
+Beth Hershberger Every time you hear this song, in fact every time you think of your mother, be honest with your feelings and let your tears flow. Holding back tears and feelings is like the proverbial ticking time-bomb. Just let it flow!

I lost my baby boy 10 years ago. Im sorry for your loss. It never gets easier....
Piotr Olszewski I feel your pain I lost my son on the 17/8/2016 my thoughts are with you
I listened to it over and over again while heading to my son's funeral on the train running through the snowy fields.
Beautiful song and very truly sorry for yr loss 😭 I lost my son also it’s hard but u have to keep yr head up believe me much love ❤️ sending
@@victoriajaferian1740 I agree. The fact that there are many people who are impressed with this song pushes me forward.
Thank you.
Death is our common song. When I heard this song for the 1st time I fell in love with it. Time only makes it meaning more. I will cross that cross soon.
River of tears is probably the best song and most emotionally wrought lyrics I've ever heard. Gets me every time but I love it. One of his best
I agree with you
Dear mr. Clapton thank you for the song and many others and I'm sorry about the loss of your son I pray for to you in Jesus name we all love you and appreciate your music forever in our hearts
God bless you Eric this song really speaks to your heart and it's good
Amen! God bless you Eric Clapton!
This song was released when my grilfriend was in hospice care. Fucking Cancer. The Lyric: "I wish that I could hold you, one more time to ease the pain, but my times run out, Ive got to go." guts me every time I hear it.
the words I want to say are stuck in my throat..knowing how it feels to loose a beautiful child…I'll cry the river of tears with you..xxxxx Thank you for this beautiful expression of your feelings.
remember the first time I listened to this song...I was in a very dark place, today with lots of prayers and hope , I'm happier than I've ever been in my 67 years! Thanks Mr Slow hand!!
2022 and this song still hits me ..
😔😔😔😔
Miss my dad he died 9 years ago 😢 he loves this song 😢Miss you so much pa
Is it just me or can you hear the pain in his voice a true legend
It hurts to lose a son you never forget fishing swimming and hockey
YES!!! I totally agree. This song has taught me that it is OK sometimes to just sit and cry "A River of Tears"
I don't know how this could have passed me by till now. This us a masterpiece of composition. Absolutely fantastic in every way possible. Thank you Eric for this, it must be one if the worlds finest songs ever written. Moves the soul. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
+1 is all I can say!!
Paul Lewis ..... Moves my very soul. 🌹
One of Eric's best compositions ....
We lost "Our Mum" on the 17/05/18. Wasn't till I came back to WA, & this song kept popping up everytime I came on youtube. I played it once, & then over & over again. Then shared it on my family page, for them to listen to it.
Thank you for this awesome, soul touching song Rest In Eternal Peace Mum ❤ & miss you so...😢😚
Hinemihi Rikihana.Lost our mum 30/5..played this song also..
This song is for any woman that was taken for granted, abused and treated so horribly by a man she loved more than her own life. She lived a lifetime of that and thought God was directing her somewhere where she felt something she never did before, be careful do not ignore what The Lord exposes to your soul the devil tried to make it look beautiful but he was the devil in disguise. The river was deep. But ALMIGHTY GOD saved me from drowning. I thank God everyday from saving me from that river. ♥️🌹🙏🏽☝🏽
There are good men out there I hope you find one. Don't be sad.
Malcolm Lewis .. Oh sweetheart, I’m not looking. I am sure of it, there are real men out there.. he will have to ask God for me. 🌹
👍
The story is about a man. But it has universal themes.
@@marybennett4160 didnt God let you down with the first man?
👍 💖 🎤 🎸 I’m going on 70 now and have always been a big fan of Clapton. I ‘grew up’ with him and still love his ‘older’, more ‘classics’ like Layla and Cocaine, as well as this one (although done later on), along with his more recent songs and performances (such as his live concert in ‘23 that I went to). But THIS - with him playing and singing AND the added video background makes it my favorite yet! * I’m not implying that I didn’t like or feel the others versions weren’t good - they were/are. To me, this song shows and proves that there’s a completely different ‘side’ and style to Clapton’s more ‘well known’ one based on its meaningful lyrics and the more thought provoking, ‘melancholy’ vibe it gives (as opposed to ‘Layla’). Another winner in my book! 👏
This song makes me cry every single time ....so many ppl have gone and I miss dearly
ibrahim khoury yes I know
ibrahim khoury
Me too. If you scroll up, you will find my comment. Every. Time. I watch. And, listen. The tears just keep rolling down my cheeks. Like. Right. Now...
Also, one of the scenes on here is from my hometown, Glenwood Springs, CO.
❤️
This song reminds me of my childhood...my dad played this album every single day..touches my soul every time I play it
It’s not just about losing someone to death. It’s the beauty of music and how things can be perceived all the way around. It’s about all of the things combined when losing someone you love, whether it’s death, divorce, breakups, etc. When you lose someone you truly love it’s heartbreaking and can change you in many ways. Beautiful song all the way around. 🙏
God I miss you my beautiful son 5 years is a long time not to see your face and that cheeky smile of yours fly high and free
Hello how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day today
I am so sorry 🙏my heartfelt condolences 💚
@@gerdaschilski6967 thank you
A very well written and performed musical masterpiece. You can feel the pain in his voice.
I hear this and I think of my husband. I just lost him Oct 23 of this year. I feel like I'm drowning in a river of tears inside and out everyday. We did everything together and loved each other's company. I'm so heartbroken. I miss him so much. Love u Michael David Smith. Til we meet again honey!!!
Do what you need in order to heal. Sending you love and light.
Time will heal feel for you try not to be sad.
I can't believe I only heard of this song like 3 days ago... what a beauty😥
I'm in that place again, where my heart remembers and my mind weeps - the pain is strong, about to take my breath. I've known pain and heartache my entire life. And, I have learned a lot about loss, and to survive loss is to know true life. I come to this song, often.
2tip3py1 games, movies, music, books ...... Me too. ❣️
After my husband passed away this was one piece of music that just gave me peace in my heart. God bless. From South Africa
This is for those that have a soul that truly Grieves.. if you don’t feel it in every fiber of your being, then you never knew LOVE.
Amen
So true.
Streight to the deepest part of my soul ..
Zasto ovo radis,sada imas novu zenu , zasto...🙁?
💔
I’m so drawn to this song and every time I listen it makes me cry . It’s a beautiful song I wished that I’d known about this song when my son passed away I would have played it at his funeral.
My best friend in CA dedicated this song to me when I moved to VA. I’m so unhappy and crying all the time. She says come back to her and she’ll save me from dying in a river of tears. That’s love.
Such a great song,up there with Tears In Heaven!
Such a beautiful song & video. This song reminds me of my late husband & daughter who passed away, he in 1981 & she in 1984.
Elaine, I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope things have got better since x
Elaine Dwyer sorry
Elaine, the pain never leaves us, but all we can believe is that they live on in spirit and we will be reunited one day when we too cross over.
Elaine Dwyer i like this song. But i'm sorry your sad story....ㅠㅠ
Elaine Dwyer , sometimes life hands us some devastating blows yours was really bad, but some how you have to keep going on to preserve their memory in your mind so you can pass what kind of people they were, live long & rock on ...
The song is incredible
Just think one day, there will be no more sadness, no more pain and the only tears we will be drowning in are tears of joy. I can’t wait to go back to my eternal home. May God comfort hearts and carry the souls that have been torn and are unable to swim through the river. In Jesus Christ Powerful Name Amen and Amen. 🎶💔🎶🙏🏽🌹
Beautifully stated, Mary. Just lost a close friend of over 50 years. This song heals. Peace to you and yours.
John Beaudoin ... So sorry for your loss, 💔 this song surely tares at your heartstrings. I don’t know what is worse when you know someone who has passed from your life yet they live....❣️
God bless you and Yours. 🌹
I did not know this song
my daughter died three years ago and I can't bear it
she was 28 years old and she was beautiful, she is beautiful
river of tears
I can not say anything more
I’m so sorry. Parents shouldn’t be burying their children :(
im so sorry to hear it! stay strong . RIP
I lost my 24 year old nephew through suicide i listen to this song all the time he was the most talented young man ive ever known
I am sorry for your loss. This song brings up emotions.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I know your pain is GREAT and DEEP. Much LOVE TO YOU.
This song evokes All the people I have lost in my life , I don't know why , it just hits every emotion .
i feel the same...
after all these years, still clapton...brilliant
Beautiful tune,sad .Connor rest in peace baby.Your dad and so many others loved you so very much.A child's death is never easy,the pain never goes.
This song is so deeply sad and brings to the surface the heartbreak of 12 years ago when my son's father crossed the bridge...
It's 3 miles to the river,
That would carry me away,
And 2 miles to the dusty street,
That I saw you on Today,
It's 4 miles to my lonely room,
Where I will hide my face,
And about a half a mile to the downtown bar,
That I ran from in disgrace,
Lord how long do I have to keep on running,
Seven hours, Seven days or Seven years,
All I know is since you've been gone,
Feels like I'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears,
Drowning in a river,
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river,
In 3 more days Ill leave this town,
And disappear without a trace,
A year from now maybe settle down,
Where no one knows my face,
I wish that I could hold you,
One more time to ease the pain,
But my times run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again,
Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find my way back here,
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears,
Drowning in a river,
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river
Oh how long must this go on,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears

The most beautiful song this man has ever done.
the most beautifull song i v’er heard Eric
Fantastic.... heart touching... good for the soul
What moves me with Eric isn't the voice, nor the guitar......it's his vulnerable soul.
🤘 BELGIUM . 💛 .
... a long journey coming back, yet, not the same ... all the beautiful nature images remind you how you wish this beauty could be shared with the child you can no longer hold or hear ... and help develop in their life journey. I fill with tears ... with acute understanding ...
As soon as you reach home after a hard days work, and you play this 🎶 at the back ground with a glass of wine🍷
Perfection, this sad song is the best written in my lifetime....Kudos to the best Eric Clapton
This song was a comfort having lost my son who took his own life.
Ton Wijnen my god. Ton. No words
i'm sorry for your loss. May it make you stronger.
So sorry for your loss. My Heart goes out to you.
Sorry to hear. 😢😢😢
Sorry :(
This is a song for all of us who lost a child, grown or little
I get the chills when I hear this song! Goosebumps go up my spine, the back of my heard, then rolls down my arms! This is my body telling me when I hear a great song! WOW! What a treasure this man's musical ability has always been. He has had buckets, nah mountains, a million times over, of talent we can only dream of. No matter how humble he remains he is a guitar god. Clearly in a class by himself. A living legend indeed!! Thank you for posting this video here. Thank you Sir Eric for sharing your talent with us all these years! Truly inspiring!
this somg just makes me cry lost my Twin brother in 1/21/16 it makes me sob being a recovering alcoholic makes it so real
Sailing through time.....Clapton's ability to evoke some extremes of bliss in teary emotions .....you want to listen to songs like this again and again........and again ! Wonderful guitaring always keeps the flow grow stronger till the last stroke.
His voice and his slide guitar always take a part of me away whenever I listen to this masterpiece....
Yes,those hands the guitar,he says it all 50 years of loving this man, part of my life story x
I think its illegal to listen to music this good
Best song ever
Breaks my heart. Every time.
my favorite of Eric..long live Mr. Blues!
Back again and this song , just gets better and better for
everytime l hear it
You only get to be a legend by suffering this life time to make it to the top of your art.
Keep your head up Clapton..You will see your son soon and you have helped many people through their recovery including me
What happened?
@@ahmedhasan8765 Eric Clapton son died a long time ago and Eric Clapton is all about recovery from drugs and alcohol
@@ahmedhasan8765 the 4 years old EC's son, Connor, died in a terrible accident. He falls from an open window of a 53th floor.
This is what terrible aching and missing sounds like. I found great comfort in this song. It translated my feelings. Thanks to this song, i could carry those feeling of pain and missing. I don't wish those feelings for anybody, not even for my worst enemy.
@@marybennett4160 Hurting someone? How did you come to that conclusion? I lost my baby girl. She died. How come people make such a nagative and hurtful remarks (in this case, a very bad conclusion) to people they don't even know.
Wow, it amazes me how powerful music can be, reading all your comments is so touching, proving music really is the universal language🎶❤🎶
Miss my dad xx
River of tears, is an excellent example of why he got the name "Ole slowhand"
Amen 🙏 to that.
Wonderful song! ❤️🌹❤️
When I heard it.I knew it was for the ones we have lost.Ive read the comments. I wasn't alone.Remember people we will hold the ones we have lost. Believe in that cause we have nothing else to believe in.Eric Clapton is THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER OFF ALL TIME. Sorry Jimi.
My husband died in my arms 5 months ago. 4 days after, I lost my mom too. 😭
keep strong titz love xxx
Allow yourself to weep until there are no more tears. Let yourself be exhausted until you feel like moving again. Then get back into life one step at a time, one day at a time, and let your beloved mom, and beloved husband guide you through life until you get to be together again. Jesus loves you; He knows your pain; it will be OK again one day. God bless you.
RIP 😞😞🙏🙏
When I first heard this song I listened to it over and over and over...then I ran out of tears....I thought.😢❤
i have spent many hours listening to this song, it touches my soul
Damn you Clapton, now I'm drowning in a river of tears!!!
R.I.P. Dad. I know this was one of your favorites and now that you're gone this song means so much more. 5/25/1943 - 11/10/2016
Most unlike Clapton. Not much guitar solo. But a soulful voice full of emotion. I like it.
Not a good day ☹️. Sadness, and tears are flowing down my cheeks and body. Hi did it get to this point? My little brother died 😢 at the age of only 17 years, a scholar, a genius. I miss him, my older brother, my youngest brother, my mother, my grandparents, my best friend from high school. And, I listen to this song and I know that I am yet, grateful, and know the truth of time. We, will be all together someday, and when I cross over to the other side of the spiritual World. Thank God 🙏.
